Heng Ze was so anxious that he could no longer control himself and hurriedly stepped forward to hug the woman. His whole body and mind were only focused on the girl in front of him.

But despite his fast speed, the woman's face quickly turned pale, and she was unable to recover.

Until this moment, she no longer had the strength to raise her hands, and just looked at Heze within reach.

This thousand years, for Heze, was a day and night of torment and redemption, and for her, it was like spending countless long dark nights.

Her voice was weak, "I know that with your personality, the days and nights of these past thousand years must have been extremely painful. I never want to see you living in such pain.

Even if I survive today, with your temperament, I will definitely have troubles day and night, and thinking about the suffering for countless years in the future is not what I want to see."

Hengze just shook his head and burst into tears, "As long as you can live, I will be satisfied."

Ling'er's pale lips curled up into a smile, "Even if you never suffer from these sins again, you won't be the same Heze you were back then. Then what's the point of my life? This is for me and for you.

From a human perspective, it is no different from death."

Heze's body suddenly froze. Because of these words, his heart was like a flash of lightning. He suddenly understood: everything in front of him had already happened since he decided to exchange the lives of other people for Ling'er's life.

Destined.

This is a sea of ​​suffering that cannot change the outcome!

Ling'er repeated again, "All these sins started because of me, and they should end with me."

She closed her eyes gently and never opened them again this time, as if she had never woken up. Everything just now was like a dream.

All that was left was a sudden hoarse sound.

The whole world seemed to be filled with only the sound of Heze, which was so nerve-wracking that it was unclear whether he was crying or laughing. It seemed like a wild animal cry that was not human-like.

So many years of expectations and hopes came to nothing at this moment. Hengze experienced the greatest joy and the deepest pain in the world in this very short period of time. For a moment, his mind was all on the corpse in front of him, as if he could no longer tolerate it.

Anything else.

Qiyin felt that this was an excellent opportunity, and a curse mark bloomed on his fist, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take action, but was stopped by Li Chen on the side.

Qiyin turned around in surprise, but Li Chen just shook his head at him.

However, Li Chen somehow remembered the cry of the fox saint Yueshuang hugging the scholar Xu Yuan on Luoyu Plain, which was distant yet close.

He thought to himself: How come there are so many sad people in this world?

That cruel demon who could shock the upper world and had not appeared for millions of years could not stop crying in the early morning and late at night when there was no one around.

It seemed that he wanted to vent all the suffering he had suffered every day and night for thousands of years.

For three whole days, he never stopped. Behind him, Li Chen and Qiyin just watched quietly.

"Compared to a thousand years, what is such a short time?" Li Chen still did not step forward, because he noticed that as time passed by, not only did Heze's injuries not recover, but

Getting more and more depressed.

After an unknown amount of time, the man holding the body leaned against the coffin as if all his strength had been drained away and he collapsed.

Even Qiyin couldn't help but feel sad when he saw this scene.

Heze began to laugh as if squeezed out of his lungs. This laughter was more touching than crying. His laughter became louder and louder. He raised his head and his whole body twitched with the laughter. His face

Tears flow freely.

As time passed, his breath became weaker and weaker, as if his life had disappeared with laughter.

The sun rises and sets in the sky, the cold moonlight spreads out and disappears, and I don’t know how long it has passed.

Li Chen and Qiyin looked at him quietly until there was no more sound in this space, as if even the sound of fallen leaves being trampled could be clearly heard.

Heze's mood gradually calmed down, and his eyes still stayed on the woman's face, asking Li Chen: "Young man, if my guess is correct, you are the person from the lower world who has been wanted by the No. 1 sect recently."

Li Chen didn't say anything, he just raised his sword again.

Hengze noticed his movements, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, my life has come to this. I wandered around the world in the first half of my life, and lived only for Ling'er in the second half of my life. Now Ling'er is dead, even if she lived for a very short time just now, I

Although it is happy, it is also the most painful time in this life."

Of course Li Chen knew where his extremely contradictory words came from, and was silent for a moment.

Hengze then said: "Whether it is a sect or not, in this world, it is just a place to sleep, eat and practice. Even if it is the upper world and the lower world, what difference does it make between sects and casual cultivators?"

After hearing these words, Li Chen felt like thunder flashed through his heart. He never expected that this was the first time he heard these words in the upper world for so long, from the mouth of this murderous demon.

Hengze seemed to see Li Chen's surprise. When he was dying, he leaned against the jade coffin behind him and said, "Young man, when I was young, I was just like you. I only seek justice when doing things, hate evil as much as hatred, and only hope that there will be peace in this world."

Because of myself, I have gained a lot of justice. However, in life, you will make mistakes and there will be no chance to turn back. You must remember."

Li Chen was in a daze after hearing what he said. Thinking of what the woman had just done, he asked by accident, "Do you regret it?"

"Regret?" Hengze repeated on his deathbed, but he just shook his head, "I was already over a thousand years old when I decided to do this. After a thousand years, how could I not think of the ending of regret? What if?

If I was really afraid of regrets, how could I start?"

Li Chen looked at his lack of regrets, and suddenly a bell rang in his heart, deafening, and he actually loosened his clenched fists for a moment.

He had always hated the disrespect for human life, but looking at the demon in front of him who had killed countless people, he couldn't feel much hatred for a while.

Hearing the last words of his life spoken by Hengze, he turned around and looked at the coffin behind him, as if he was vaguely looking at the people of the past, "I know that your last words were just to wake me up. We

I said back then that no matter what happens in the end, it will never change."

Li Chen looked at this scene, wondering if it was an illusion, but found that the corpse that had been in the coffin for who knows how many years seemed a little more peaceful.

"After I die, you can devour my entire cultivation." Hengze looked at Li Chen. At this moment, he had dispelled all the hostility in his heart. His obsession was eliminated by Linger's few words. He looked at the person in front of him.

The young man, as if looking at himself before, slowly closed his eyes, "My sinful body and all my cultivation can help you enter the realm of Tongtianqiao, which can be considered as atonement."

On this day, Hengze, the first person of his generation in the first sect thousands of years ago, who spent the first half of his life fighting swords and the second half of his life full of evil, passed away quietly and anonymously.

No one remembers his momentary glory, only the two corpses nestled in the coffin after death.
